    Words I Hate...

    Every now and then a "word" comes along that I can't stand. The most recent of such words is "noob", short for "newbie", i.e. beginner, newcomer to something. You'll here people say, "I'm a noob so can anyone help me ?"... Everytime I see that word "noob" I want to put my fist through something.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    Noob is kind of an old word these days. I'm used to it now.

    I always hated yo. Quite an old word now, but I always thought it was silly. Especially when the first person I ever heard say it was a white guy with a Pennsylvania accent.

    If you think that's a recent word then you must be a noob...
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Sylvester Stallone was not speaking with a Pennsylvania accent, especially not a Philadelphia one. Yo Adrian or no Yo Adrian.

    I can't say as if I've ever watched a movie with Sylvester Stallone in it.

    Then the Rocky reference was just wasted. Sorry about that.
